*** ASSESSMENT RELATED COORESPONDENCE

LARSON – TAX MAP 03 LOT 13: Mr. Larson is disputing his new assessment. The Board looked at this property. There is a shed dormer on the rear of the building. Vision did not have this on their assessment card. We will send a letter stating that Vision incorrectly did not include the shed dormer, this is a ¾ story. Avitar picked up piers, which reduced the assessment. Mr. Parker feels that we should delete the assessment on the lean to since the size factor seems too high. Mr. Yon disagreed, he feels that we need to speak with Gary with regard to this. Mr. Yon does not feel we should delete this since there is a structure. We can change the condition factor to reduce this.
